How do you pick name/domain for a product?

It's better if it's short and easy to remember. Pick something that is unique and something catchy.

I would not consider SEO at all when choosing a domain name. When I choose a domain I make it niche related and short enough and easy enough for people to remember.

al

I will pick something that are...
Short and sweet.
Easy to remember.
Probably 1 or 2 keywords that describe the niche/product
And that's it.

shorter and easier is better. Write down around 5 to 8 on a short little piece of paper and put the names all in a hat and either you or somebody else pull one out and there you go....

Do some research in your market and niche and see what kind of domains your competitions is using.

I think the easier the better.But the last thing I would do is to keep thinking about it without going forward. Trust me I have done this before and you can really get caught up with this. Have it decided and a done deal by this late morning

Here are few things to keep in mind while choosing a domain name.

Brief:Easy to spell and write
Unique:Catchy, easy to Pronounce, Memorise
Relevant: To Your topic of the website
Try to use only dot com domain.
No Hyphens.
Keep it short.2-3 Words only.

When starting out just go for short, memorable. Something that works. Keywords if it works, if not don't be too concerned about it. Don't pick something that people are going to ask you how to spell it. Or they don't understand the domain name. e.g. findahousefor.me people will think you mean findahouseforme.com.

Don't get caught up in the name. Don't overthink it. Time kills startups. Give yourself a couple of days, mull over your ideas, choose the name. If you start googling names of Roman gods etc you're probably overthinking it.

short, easy to remember, benefit driven

Pick something short, unique and catchy. It's harder to remember something longer than usual.

As much as possible, it should be short. Easy to remember.

Short to Medium long keywords. It doesn't have to be a brand name, but it doesn't hurt to add the keywords if it's a service. For example: JoeSchmoPlumbing.com

The best domain names are short, easy to remember, and easy to spell.

You have all the best answers and combinations of them above.

Initially do go for the shortest .com always....and most often that will evolve into the best you can get without going broke in the process.

That is one thing I love about Twitter it trains us to say anything we have to say in less words.

You want your domain name to be easy for a person to overhear on a crowded train and for them to be able to go look it easily by typing what they heard into a search engine.

Anything with numbers or words that sound one way and typed another is going to lose you visitors along the way.

Let the content on your domain and your social media presence do the SEO for you.

Make your domain name relevant to the product that you're selling. So if you're selling an ebook about "growing red roses".... your domain could be something like, "growbeautifulredroses .com". (not necessarily that long though).

Make it short and appealing. Choose the one that you think is unique but then easy to remember.

You received good advice. I agree with almost everything that has been posted in this thread.

I add this:

1) The length of your domain name may be inversely proportional to the difficulty of remembering. Three words easy to remember can make a good domain name (even if it is rather long): for example, makemoneyonline (15 letters). But a series of letters without meaning (for the average person) must be short: Google (6 letters) for example. As everyone has said, the important things are that your domain name should be easy to remember, easy to pronounce and easy to write. And preferably related to your niche... unless you have the advertising budget of Google, Apple or Amazon.

2) For some time, Google favored websites that contained their keyword in the domain name. Those days are gone. Do not worry about SEO to choose your domain name.

3) Even if the domain name you are looking for is available, it may be that there are trademarks that use it. Make sure this is not the case. The last thing you want is to be entangled in a legal action taken against you by a big company!

N.B. Besides Panabee, the following tools can be useful to find a good domain name: Nomino ,
Nameboy and Nomatic.



Good luck!

A short easily remembered and brandable name would be the right choice.

So if your site is all about Blue Widgets For Grandmas you should not register bluewidgetsforgrandmas.com? That's counter intuitive. There is no issue of any kind with EMDs. That would be illogical.

Which brings us to how I choose domains. I make them as close to an exact match to the name of the site as possible. i.e. Warrior Forum - warriorforum.com

Choose the short one. There's a possibility that it won't be easy to remember if it's long.

Wow, huge amount of good advices! Thanks a lot! Pick short one, thanks!

The shorter the better. The shorter the easier to remember.
